hall over his place of business. The
dances have stopped. It is understood
that the agent of the building took a
hand in the matter, after the public
charges that had been made against
the character of the entertainment
there, and cancelled the lease held by
those who were giving the dances.
"The dances were very bad," said
Dr. Rosenberg last evening. "Young
girls, 13 and 14 years of age, attended
them. Beer was carried in from a
near-by saloon, and sometimes the
lights would be turned out. I fully in
tended to take the matter up before
the grand jury next month, but now
everything is all right."
The common council or the police
did nothing in the matter though the
chairman of the council committee to
which the subject of Dr. Rosenberg's
complaint had been referred, stated in
the council room that the charges
were well founded.
One gentleman said yesterday thai

Mr. Adams, in speaking of the new
tariff sheet of the "North Bank" sys
tem, which has been framed up, ap
proved, and becomes effective Septem
ber first, says that it is compiled on a
Portland terminal basis and does not
comprehend Astoria nor the A. & C.
territory west of the metropolis, and
affords no relief whatever to shippers
and consignees, and, of course, docs
not even tentatively, grant "common
point" on grain to this port nor the
mdutb of the river.
Touching upon this latter matter,
Mr. Adams said, last night, to a re
porter for Astorian, that whenever
the question of the common point
grain rate to Astoria shall come up
either upon the initiative of the roads
at interest, or upon any sort of an
aggressive demand put up by As
toria and the country tributary to it,
it would involve all the trunk lines in
the Northwestern field in its conces
sion and formulation; that the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle road was
not, in the larger sense, a grain road
and does not traverse a grain coun
try, as do the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and the Oregon Railway &
Navigation lines; that the extra cost
of hauling the grain the 100 miles
west of Portland, or 60 west of Gobla
would have to be borne by the com
pany originating the shipment, and
the assumption of this cost was re
sisted, and would be, .by the com
panies concerned, until there appear
ed far hfiHur rearn than exist a portions
present, for putting Astoria on the
same grain . basis now enjoyed by
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. The

land or Coble would create a new
